ly or fashionably. He is nearly
twenty-five, and until this year at.
tended pretty closely at the New
Columbia School of Mines, and is a
pretty fair civil engineer. Several
months ago Mr.. Gould took him into
his Office for the purpose of training
him, as he has his elder son George
He has, it would seem pursued much
the same policy with the younger as
with the older son. Among the first
things he did was to have him made a
director in one of the big coal compan-
les so that he should have a direct and
vital interest in corporate properties.
The young man has not been confined
to the Office though. In company with
Mr.. Taylor, Of the dock department,
he has inspected the new aqueduct
construction very thoroughly aud has
examined numerous coal and mineral
properties, with the idea, Of course,
Of becoming practically familiar with
such things. Young Gould takes a
good deal Of exercise. He is a men,
Der of one of the canoe clubs here,
and used to be seen frequently at
Brentano's, where he was liberal
buyer Of works on canoes and canoe
ing. Notwithstanding he has the dar-
ing spirit displayed in speculation, the
young man, both in manner and con-
versation, is timid and reserved.
On the piazza of the United States
Hotel, at Saratoga, the other evening,
a family group were seated along the
railing, opposite the music stand, lis
tening to Stubs orchestra, and easily
helding the attention of two or three
pretty girls who were chatter
ing short distance away.
The enthusiastic interest of the
young ladies was explained by the
presence Of two young millionaires in
the group referredto. A casual glance
settled that question. There sat ST.
mon Wormser, the representative of
Reading in Wall street,
and with him were his two rotund and
good-natured olive branches, known
on the family records as Morris and
Alexander. Morris has already had
his modicum of notoriety, for his life
line got mixed up a little in the finan-
cial complications following the crash
of December 18th last in Wall street.
Young Wormser was born in Cali
fornia in 1854, and is therefore only
% years of age. He graduated from
Columbia in 1885, and that very sum-
mer went into the office of his father
and uncle. He began speculating,
and was successful until he met with
the experience noted above. His at
tention to business did not prevent
him, however, from pursuing his
for the bar, and he will
be admitted this fall. 1t is
also stated on good authority that be-
fore the snow flies he will have mar
ried an exceedingly pretty girl, who is
now engaging the attention of a dozen
unsuspecting youths, who do not
know that the prize is already won.
